New Music: Discodeine – Synchronize Feat. Jarvis Cocker
Another smoker from the DFA crew:
“Discodeine is one of the most anticipated duos, the brainchild of two musical producers to haunt our collective conscious in recent years: Pilooski, an already well-known fixture amongst the Parisian music scene, best known for his “dirty edits” (a collaborative project between Pilooski and Dirty Sound System) series, also his collaborations and remixes for LCD soundsystem, Jarvis Cocker, Iggy Pop, Brian Ferry, Nina Simone, and his most recent involvement in producing The Aikiu’s debut album (due early 2011) and Pentile, an equally respected musician/producer in his own right, and until now best known for his involvement with Octet and France Copeland.
Having discovered a mutual love for sci-fi movies, avant-garde electro and South Western French cuisine, the duo soon discovered they had an undeniable chemistry in the studio and quickly started churning out killer remixes for the likes of Metronomy, Whomadewho, Bot’ox, Photonz and Yelle. Earlier this year, the duo decided to write and record their debut album, consisting of only original material, written from scratch and including an honorable handful of yet-to-be-announced guest vocalists to be featured on some of the tracks coming next year.
Right off the bat, ‘Synchronize’ is the first single from their highly anticipated forthcoming full-length….”
Am I wack for admitting I don’t know who like 75% of the people they have worked with are?

New Music: Anika – I Go To Sleep (Produced by Geoff Barrow)
Here’s a cover of The Pretenders’ “I Go To Sleep” by Anika from her self-titled album produced by BEAK (Geoff Barrow of Portishead and friends) released yesterday on Stones Throw Records.
I love the original song and The Pretenders and I love Portishead but I’m not sure I actually really like this. Others though?
Hit the jump for an alternate stream and download link for Anika’s version in case the above one (via the musebox) goes down. (more…)
Music Video: Lexicon – Calls
California hipster-rap duo signed to a French record label. Go figure….
MP3: Lexicon “Calls” by Laitdbac Records
From the Rapstars album, irony of that title fully-intended, I’m sure… (can you imagine dudes like this trying to put an album out under that title in say, 1992? How things have changed – for the better I think though, no?)
#DK11: The album, This One Goes To Eleven… OUT NOW
